Title: Sata Drive
Post by: Dale Gobbler on July 03, 2008, 06:58:07 pm
I'm looking to get a SATA harddrive. My IDE one started crapping out so I reformatted it, but it's only 80 gigs. I have everything I need backed up on an external. So I was looking at newegg and came across a 500gig SATA for $79.99(USD). Good deal? Should I keep looking. I would rather just go to a store and buy one but the only computer store around here has this on their homepage:

I just went to newegg and type 'Sata hardrive' I think. I went ahead ant just bought a 320 gig Seagate one at Walmart for 50 bucks (USD). Now I'm trying to freaking slipstream SATA floppy files with my XP disc. My motherboard didn't have a floppy disk with the SATA files. I'm almost done I think.
